Unfortunately, not knowing what those house blends are or what is in them, makes it pretty hard to recommend much...My stand by recommendations for new pipe smokers are always Carter Hall, Prince Albert, Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake, Orlik Golden Slices, Dunhill Early Morning Pipe, McClelland's Frog Morton, and Rattary's Red Rapparre.

Once I know exactly what you like, I can pin-point more blends for you based off of style.

Cobs, Cobs, and more Cobs. You can never have too many cobs my friend. I have plenty of briars, and I still reach for my cobs more often than not.

this guy knows of what he speaks, I will add another one that I just love Dunhill Nightcap.

also like @Branzig said get cobs, find what you like before you start smoking it in briars, you may not notice now but later you will find sometimes you can taste old tobaccos you smoked in briars.
